Notes  

Hypurin Bovine Protamine Zinc is a beef-based PZI insulin made by CP Pharma[3][4][5].

Comparable insulins, all made for veterinary use only are: Hypurin Vet Protamine Zinc, Insuvet Protamine Zinc and the U100 strength of BCP PZI and Summit. BCP PZI is compounded in the US, Summit in Canada; only CP Pharma's human-use approved insulin is able to be exported from the UK.

For those who are in the UK, Best Pet Pharmacy has this in stock.

No Combining For PZI

Protamine Zinc PZI[6] insulin cannot be combined with other insulins, due to the amount of protamine in the insulin's formula[7][8][9].
